Arthur Staple and Steve Valiquette discuss the Rangers continued struggles, despite the shootout win over the brutal Habs in Montreal on Thursday night. The guys critique the play of Patrick Kane who recorded his first goal and points as a Ranger in the game, despite a handful of glaring turnovers for 'showtime' as a Ranger. Vally and Stape talk about the growing trend of poor defensive play for the Blue Shirts, who are only 3-5-1 in the past 9 games, led by the absence of unsung hero Ryan Lindgren, due to injury. It's not all doom and gloom, as Jacob Trouba and Alexis Lafrenière have picked up their play, and Vally has a solution to get Igor Shesterkin out of his funk.
